Best Adult Store

As its name might suggest, Sexology Institute and Boutique aims to set itself apart from other adult businesses in San Antonio, and rises to that occasion on a variety of levels. Since opening in Southtown to a fair amount of chatter back in 2015, the politely presented emporium has proven itself as both an approachable destination for gifts of varying degrees of naughtiness (from kitschy novelties to state-of-the-art sex toys for men and women alike) and hands-on courses dedicated to topics like Booty Basics (for those ready to get “behind romance”), Ultimate Orgasms for Him and Her (devoted to maximizing the big “O”) and the ever-popular Going Down: How to Give the Best BJs (a “fabulous fellatio class that is spicy, tasteful, funny, and educational”). A recently announced move to 707 South St. Mary’s Street will allow Sexology to further develop its programming and further separate the educational space and retail storefront.
